Remembering Maureen Cavanaugh (1955-2005)

Following up on our prior posts on the untimely death of our friend and colleague Maureen Cavanaugh (here and here), Penn State-Dickinson has asked us to pass along this information to the tax community:

• There will be a memorial service for Maureen on Friday, April 15 in Room 145 at Penn State-Dickinson in Carlisle, Pennsylvania at 11:30 AM.  There will be a reception with a buffet lunch immediately following the service in the Student Lounge area of the Cafe Per Se.  Dean McConnaughay writes:

Our memorial service represents an opportunity for us to pay tribute to a friend and colleague who had a profound impact on the legal community through her unique scholarship and academic achievements, and who was a wonderful embodiment of kindness, good humor and humility to all who knew her.

• Please record your condolences and special memories of Maureen in the on-line guest book here, or via email here.
